  1. There will be a temporary power shut down at my block for some rewiring works. The notice says 9am to 5pm.

     

    What should I do to prepare for this? I don't have UPS and won't be at home when this happens.

     

    My contains some fishes, LPS and softies and a few RBTA.

  2. That's v strange indeed.
    -ve ORP should surely give you lower NO3 output levels.
    +ve ORP is indication that effluent flow rate is too high isn't it? NPro & ProbioS should not affect it since they are bacteria & carbon sources.


    One guy at reefcentral says the bacteria feeding on carbon will out compete the sulphur feeding bacteria so dosing carbon will interfere with sulphur denitrator. Don't know true or not but I temporarily stopped dosing the AF probiotics solutions, removed the nitra guard cubes and turned down the flow of the biopellet reactor.

    ORP of sulphur reactor had hovered between -10 to -60 for the past week, still far off from the -180 "sweet spot". I'm already at approx 1 drop per second so don't know what to do, other than just wait and see if the reactor starts functioning by itself.

  3. I had since moved the reactor into the sump. It is still not working. NO3 of effluent is still red, same as the input, on both salifert and red sea test kits.

    Tried using AF Pro Bio S together with NP pro and it seems to make it worst. ORP moved to and stayed positive. Have now stopped dosing the AF solutions and left the reactor alone.

    Tried almost everything but can't bring NO3 down. Chaeto reactor, biopellet reactor, nitra guard bio cube, AF probiotic...

  4. I am using a Skimz CM152 calcium reactor as a sulphur denitrator. The unit is placed inside the cabinet beside the sump.

     

    Have just started running the reactor for a day and noticed that unit gets rather warm. Main body is warm to touch. Is this normal? Do I need to point a fan or something to the recirculating pump?

     

    Running effluent at one drop a second per instructions. The orp meter is currently already reading below -200mv. Should I increase flow or wait another 2 days as outlined in the instructions?

  5. I am planing to restart my tank with small fishes and is giving away my large Tang fish (not sure which specie) for adoption. Brown/Blackish colour.
     
    He is over 5 inches and pretty aggressive so would need a big tank. Feeding on frozen mysis and brine only.
     
    Collection in CCK. Reefer will have to bring your own container and catch him yourself (I failed to trap him so far).

  6. I am using SC2060 for my 4x2x2.5ft FOWLR, i think SC1455 is abit undersized(though rated 800L) if you are mainly keeping fishes especially Tangs and large Angels cause they really shit alot :P

    I have 3 large Tangs and they do eat a lot :( Like that maybe really gotta bite the bullet for SC2060. This month gotta eat grass again :cry2:

  7. My old skimmer's pump died again so I guess it is time to replace the skimmer. My tank is 4ft X 2ft X 2.5ft. Is a Deltec SC1455 sufficient for my tank? Keeping mostly fishes only (corals put inside keep dying after some time :angry2: ). The next Deltec skimmer after SC1455 seems to be SC2060 but it is over twice the price of a SC1455.

  8. Hi,

    The controller of my 3 year old eco-lamp is totally screwed. Randomly switches between auto and manual and and timer not working, All control buttons are not working as well.

    Anyone knows where I can repair the eco-lamp in Singapore? Maybe bypass the controller completely and on full blast when turned on. Quite a waste to throw away the entire unit because of faulty controller.

    Thank you
